that appear the message " Unable to connect to the registry on server
(servername), or you are not member of the OLAP Administrators Group".

What service pack did you install? SP4 addressed several issues that
resulted in this generic error code. Also there are several reasons outlined
in the AS Operations Guide

I have installed Service Pack 4 in the client side and SP 3a in the server,
but i still recieve the error message: "Unable to connect to the registry on
server (servername), or you are not member of the OLAP Administrators Group".

i must install SP 4 in the server?, or what i have to do?, other thing that
i did was join the user to the administrators group but i still continue
recieving the same message.

Please help me, thanks in advance.

SP4 needs to be on the server.
There are other possible sources to this as well. We speak to some of those
in the AS Operations Guide:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro.../anservog.mspx
see the section titled: Problem Solving Tips (about 2/3 of the way down)
also see the section titled Administrator Security which talks a bit about
what permissions an OLAP administrator needs to have.
